Outcome of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols in Patients Undergoing Small Bowel Surgery

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are multimodal perioperative care pathways designed to achieve early recovery after surgical procedures by maintaining preoperative organ function and reducing the profound stress response after surgery. It benefits patient by reducing complications and enhancing recovery and saves resources for the health care system. In this concept, surgeons work collaboratively with anesthesiologist, nurses, nutritionists and physical therapists to develop and manage the perioperative care.
